Chateau Les Carmes Haut Brion 2022

The start of 2022 was marked by low rainfall, encouraging the vines to develop their root systems deep in the ground. Budburst in mid-March preceded a long period of very hot weather that lasted from May until rainy spells in mid-August. Despite these extreme conditions, the grapesweare of exceptional quality, revealing a rare combination of richness, power and voluptuousness.

Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion, a major Pessac-Léognan estate, is located on Bordeaux Left Bank. Founded in the 16th century, this vineyard is now delivering an expression of its terroir that is the work of a visionary owner and craftsmen with the air of goldsmiths. Acquired in 2010 by the Pichet property group, Château Les Carmes-Haut-Brion is now one of the most distinguished growths in the Pessac-Léognan appellation.
